Major protection of the Rangitata River is on the cards, with a “jobs for nature” restoration project being approved in principle, and a multi-agency group working on further projects Department of Conservation (DOC) director general Lou Sanson said in a social media post on Monday that the jobs for nature project will include fencing 110 kilometres of riverbed and wetlands, planting 116,000 native plants on riparian margins, trapping sediment, and protecting braided river birds such as the wrybill, black billed gulls, black stilt/kaki and black-fronted tern. The work would employ up to 86 people over the four years according to the post which also said it was “part of DOC’s new multi-agency $20m partnership”. “The programme is our flagship restoration of a Canterbury braided river ecosystem,” Sanson said.

The Mekong River Commission (MRC) said on Monday that levels on the Mekong River have risen “slightly” and its looking into why its outflow data from Chinese dams upstream differed from data later given by Beijing. Whether or not China’s 11 dams are harming downstream nations dependent on the 4,350 km (2,700 mile) river has become a geopolitical issue, with the United States urging Lower Mekong governments to demand answers. China says there are many reasons for falling river levels in recent years, including low rainfall and dams on other tributaries. The river in Laos, Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia had fallen in many parts since January, with some sections turning blue instead of the usual brown colour – signaling shallow water and low levels of nutrition-rich sediment in the river that nearly 70 million people rely on for livelihoods. The MRC said outflow from southern China to mainland Southeast Asia had increased from 768 cubic metres per second earlier this month to … [Read more...] about Beijing Gives Thailand Conflicting Outflow Data on Mekong River Dams

Water levels on the Mekong River have failed to rise raising concerns in communities living downstream, sources say. The Mekong was already low because of equipment testing at China’s upriver Jinghong Dam. However water levels were suppose to resume to normal after equipment testing ended at the Jinghong Dam but haven’t. Chinese authorities at the end of December had announced that discharges of water from Yunnan province’s Jinghong Dam would be reduced from 1,900 cubic meters per second to 1,000 cubic meters per second starting on Jan. 5. However testing was set to end on Jan. 24, water levels in the area have still not been restored, sources in the area say. “The Mekong River water level is still low, and a long stretch of sand has emerged because the Chinese are not yet releasing water,” the owner of a floating restaurant in the town of Chiang Saen in Thailand’s Chiang Rai province told Radio Free Asia . “It looks like China doesn’t care about people living downstream,” … [Read more...] about Mekong River Water Levels Fail to Rise Due to China’s Jinghong Dam
